Eclipse Mirror Galaxy Glazed Moon Pies
It’s no secret that I am a total nerd. Working as a research biologist goes hand-in-hand with my love of very technical baking. Lately, there has been a huge geek-fest going on because of the upcoming eclipse. This is the first total solar eclipse in the continental US since 1970. People are losing their minds…
Peanut Butter Cup S’mores Cupcakes

Grapefruit [BOOZY] Italian Soda Slushie

Gin Mint Julep
That’s right, y’all! It’s that time of year again. DERBY TIME! — You can’t be from Kentucky without completely shutting down for the entire week of the Derby. Spending all of your time with juleps and friends is mandatory. Last year, I shared 4 different takes on the Classic Mint Julep with varieties including Rose, Mango, and…
Champagne Onion Rings
SPRING is here, y’all! I know I’ve been whiny and complaining about the nasty cold weather, rainy whatever, so I’m here to celebrate the 80 degree days that we have been having in Nashville by popping a few bottles into my glass as well as the fryer. Why not, right? Around here, you can fry just…
Bourbon Glazed Burger
Beef and bourbon. Two southern staples that are held completely sacred around here. Put them together you say? Why, I think I just might! — A solid burger is probably my choice for my last meal (with killer fries, of course). I’ve been on a kick of grinding cuts of meat myself at home for…
